Rocks and Minerals The Rock Cycle

Minerals A mineral is a naturally occurring solid that has definite composition and structure Scientists use physical properties to identify minerals

Physical Properties of Minerals Color Luster Hardness Streak Cleavage Magnetism Odor Taste

Minerals

Properties of Minerals Color - not always reliable. The color can vary among different samples Luster - the way a mineral reflects light –Metallic –Nonmetallic

More Properties of Minerals Cleavage - the way in which a mineral breaks Hardness - the ability of a mineral to resist being scratched –Mohs’ Hardness Scale 1-10 Diamond is the hardest mineral (10)

More Properties of Minerals Streak - the color of powder when it is rubbed against a ceramic tile Magnetism - Magnetite is magnetic Odor Sulfur is mineral that smells like rotten eggs Taste- Halite is a mineral that tastes like salt

The Importance of Minerals

3 Types of Rocks Metamorphic - formed when tremendous heat and pressure change existing rock Igneous - formed when hot liquid magma exits through a volcano Sedimentary - formed when sediments are compacted and cemented together

Sedimentary Rocks

Igneous Rocks

Metamorphic Rocks
